OK, so I thought this was going to be an easy job with the included wiring harness - except it isn't 
I've managed to pick up a new old stock Parrot Ck3000 Evo unit complete off eBay which is identical to the one I have in the Lazarus Project (A2). The latter was fitted by Mike @Skipton01 arouond 14yrs ago! I can vaguely remember Mike not using the included harness and wiring it a different way so it worked seamlessly with the Concert II unit - 'Phone' would be displayed when in use and would mute to answer a call (I do remember him wiring the mute cable from the Parrot to the 'mute' pin on the Concert. But that's as far as my memory goes. I've reached out to Mike via a PM to see if he could pop over and assist but I don't think he's around here much these days?
Anyway I thought I'd tackle it myself and whilst I'm happy to pay someone to do it I want someone who knows how to take the A2 trim apart rather than a ham fisted attempt by someone who doesn't know these cars.
The new A2 has the Symphony II Double DIN which I got out without a problem - but there is no ISO block connector on these units just the three plugs which makes the Parrot loom of no use! In fact even if I worked out where to attach the three plugs from the back of the stereo the ISO block would not fit the unit as it doesn't appear designed for one. A bit of research suggests I need a SOT lead but again that looks like it has ISO connectors that clearly won't fit.
Reaching out to anyone for advice and ideally willing to assist me fitting it (along with clearing off a few fault codes that are lingering). I'm in South Manchester.
Here's what I've got:
Plugs from back of Symphnoy II:
Parrot inlcuded loom:
Rear of Symphony II: (Note: the top horozontal connector in the pic (Connector D I'm led to believe) was empty of a plug but I know pin D1 is the telephone mute connector pin)
As an aside I have a feeling the heater flap motor has stuck again after freeing it off and spraying with lube but this time in the cold setting. So that's another job I'll have to go and fiddle about with
